EU Ramps Up Pressure on Hungary in Battle Over Soros NGOs

The EU announced Thursday that it was launching a second, separate legal action against Hungary for a law it adopted in June requiring any NGO receiving $26,000 or more in foreign funding to register with the government as a “foreign-supported organization” or risk closure. The law is widely regarded to be aimed directly at organizations, particularly of a pro-immigrant persuasion, funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros.
